Do they move concepts and people to unimaginable heights? Do they challenge the status quo? And do they rule the future rather than the future ruling them?

Great leaders do not just manage, direct or command, they motivate people to act, excite them to a cause and inspire them to believe. They are game-changers that transcend reward or measure. They unite ideas and people and instill in them a belief in something more than themselves, something worth following.
